AWESOME BAKED CHICKEN SCAMPI



Awesome Baked Chicken Scampi image

I've been playing around with this for a bit of time, and finally came up with this recipe. I've seen chicken scampi recipes that use a cream-based sauce, and/or combine the chicken with veggies (like carrots, etc), and although I'm sure that it's quite tasty... it's not scampi. Scampi is an oil, wine, lemon-based...

Chicken & Zucchini Scampi - Cass's image

I have been tossing this recipe idea around in my mind and today I finally put it all together...the kids loved it, and it's a good way to get them to eat their veggies. I used only half the pasta I would normally use as the Zucchini served as the rest...It turned out just as I had anticipated...DELICIOUS! If your not a...

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick butter
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into medallions
salt fresh cracked pepper to season chicken
5 clove garlic, minced
8 green onions, chopped
2 small to med zucchini, julienned
1/2 c white wine
1/8 c lemon juice
1 tsp each dried basil and dried oregano
1/3 - 1/2 c heavy cream
fresh asiago cheese, grated
fresh parsley - chopped for garnish - optional
1/2 lb linguine, cooked or favorite pasta - if not adding zucchini, make the full pound

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium high heat - melt butter into the olive oil. Season chicken with the salt and pepper. Once butter is melted and bubbly - add the chicken and saute for about 15 minutes or until cooked through ( turning occasionally.) Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • 2. Now, add the garlic and onions to the pan. Cook for a few minutes.
  • 3. Add the zucchini to the skillet, along with the chicken and add the basil and oregano. You can also add more salt and pepper if needed. Cook for another 10 - 15 minutes more. Now is when I start the pasta.
  • 4. Remove chicken and zucchini and add the lemon juice and wine to the pan. ( the reason I removed the chicken and zucchini is so the zucchini wouldn't become to overcooked.) Scrape any bit and pieces if are any. Simmer for about 5 minutes and then add the cream. Stir until heated through..
  • 5. Return the zucchini and chicken back to the pan. Drain linguine - I don't rinse. Add to the pan with the chicken and zucchini and toss all together. Making sure to coat pasta with the sauce.
  • 6. Plate and sprinkle with fresh Asiago or Parmesan cheese. Can also garnish with fresh parsley.
  • 7. Note: If you feel you may want more sauce, double the butter, lemon juice, wine and cream. The amount of sauce was perfect for us, but some may like more, especially if using all pasta with no zucchini.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, juicy shrimp. Medium or large shrimp is ideal for this recipe. Avoid using frozen shrimp, as it can be tough and watery.
  • Marinate the shrimp in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This helps to flavor the shrimp and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly over high heat. This helps to preserve the shrimp's delicate flavor and texture.

  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best for this recipe, as it has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the sauce. This helps to brighten the flavor of the sauce and balance out the richness of the butter.
  • Serve the chicken scampi immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.
